Akshay, I follwed your steps exactly on Ubuntu 8.10, but during database creation of Oracle 10gR2, an error pops up, “TNS listener lost contact”, and the database is not created. How can I fix it?

For folks that encounter the link error, the issue I found is:

- Linking liborasdkbase
/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/bin/genorasdksh -base
$Id: genorasdksh.sh 02-mar-2005.16:22:46 mchengjr Exp $
Generating BASE ORASDK library…
Creating /opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/lib/liborasdkbase.so.10.2

/opt/oracle/product/10.2.0/bin/genorasdksh: Failed to link liborasdkbase.so.10.2
make: *** [liborasdkbase] Error 1

The resolution was get libstdc++.so.5 via:

% sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

Hey Guys, I actually get an error or more than one. Any advice on what I should change? I am a newbie to Oracle 10g and ubuntu.

If you are not able to run xclock successfully, please refer to your PC-X Server or OS vendor for further assistance.
Typical path for ‘xclock’: ‘/usr/X11R6/bin/xclock’

I tried the above steps to best of my ability. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!

The tutorial worked almost perfect with fresh Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)
I received only one error message at the linking phase; clicked on continue. The rest was problem-free.

Thank you for the tutorial

Note: For those who might get confused when they are asked about the local bin directory, the default is fine [/usr/local/bin]. Just hit enter and it will be done.

I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Wierd News Stories, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

Anjum Butt you are one of the most clueless people i’ve seen…we’ve been running a 1.5TB Oracle instance on Ubuntu for over a year now and its been the most reliable install to date…go buy Windows and SQL Server, maybe you’ll feel better.
